To which I reply: You expect your charges to work right, don't you 
John? You expect your rifle (when you carry one) to work. Why not 
IFF? Especially given 300 added years, I see no reason why this won't 
be in the 'been around so long its rock solid' category. 

Mind you, OTOH, I can see EW chits being used to screw up IFF systems 
thus resulting in unfortunate friendly casualties.
